Healthcare Navigators Provide Open Enrollment Assistance to Citizens
continues until Saturday, January 15, 2021. For those needing coverage beginning January 1st, 2022,
consumers must enroll by Wednesday, December 15, 2021. Healthcare Navigators are a group of
nationally recognized health professionals that assist Floridians in gaining healthcare coverage.
These services are offered free of charge to all Floridians, including Citrus County citizens.
Suwannee River Area Health Education Centers (SRAHEC) is part of the Covering Florida program,
where navigators deliver free outreach and enrollment services to any Floridian that needs to
enroll in health care coverage in the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace. Assistance is provided
to consumers through telephone, in-person, or virtual consultations. SRAHEC also provides
education, outreach, and enrollment services throughout Central and Northern Florida. Their
navigators are trained and certified to help consumers as they shop for their health coverage
options through the Marketplace, including completing eligibility and enrollment forms. SRAHEC
navigator services are free to consumers and provided to their entire 15-county service area
(Alachua, Bradford, Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hernando, Lafayette, Levy,
Marion, Putnam, Sumter, Suwannee, and Union counties).
The pandemic has resulted in a tremendously increased level of need for services, and anyone
